Another Great Apple ProductNovember 23, 2008 Very nice, works well. You can buy things to make it work with non- Nike+ shoes. Just doesn't go very well with airport security. Take it out or be prepared to explain what it is. No big deal.
Love this product!!!November 23, 2008 I just got the sport kit recently, and even though I've only used it a couple of times so far, I'm thrilled with how well it works. I had first gotten a 3rd gen ipod in September (I didn't like the new 4g, so found a 3rd on clearancy), then found out about the sport kit. I went ahead and got the Nike + shoes, and I'm so glad I did! I have back problems that usually make walking any distance painful and impossible. But with these shoes, my feet and my back don't hurt any more. Even my family has noticed the difference and commented on it. For me the shoes have been well worth the price. Then I added the sport kit. Even though I'm only walking fairly short distances, it's still great to be able to go back and track my progress. Very motivating. I'm sort of dreading running into the battery issue I've been reading about, but so far I'm thrilled with this product!
First Sensor, Awesome. Second, Not so much!November 19, 2008 I am a big fan of this product. Very affordable. The battery issue does suck. My first sensor was awesome. I cal'd it on a track and event cal'd the walking part. It was almost dead on. On a 6.2 mile run, it would say I ran 6.4, over and over. Couldn't ask for better accuracy. I really enjoy the pace feature. BUT....
My battery in the sensor died and I purchased another one to replace it. I cal'd it on a track and everything just as the first. It could not be more wrong. When I speed up to a 6:00 min pace or so it says im running slower like 8:40. When I slow down and do a 8:00 min pace it says im doing a 6:00 min pace. Wierd. I am sad and this problem has me questioning the product. I really want it to work right.
If you are a new runner and have an iPod, highly recommend this item. Seeing your distance is a real motivator. For $30 this product is worth giving it a try!!!
Oh and yes I do have Nike shoes, not the pouch so thats not the problem. Maybe I should stop running backwards, just kidding.
Worked ok for 3 months until the internal battery died..November 6, 2008 The unit that fits in/on your shoe has a soldered in CR2032 battery.. non-replaceable. Mine worked fine for the first 3 months or so, then started giving low-battery warnings.. it worked for ~ 2 more weeks intermittantly then died. I cut it apart and tried to replace the battery myself but soldering the new battery proved too difficult and getting everything back together and keeping it water-tight was nearly impossible. I had a friend by this for me through the Nike website so I didnt have a receipt. I tried to get it replaced under warranty through apple.. didnt work w/o the receipt. Supposedly the battery should be good for up to two years. One detail you should know is that the unit is always on unless you press and hold the button for 2 seconds or more. Not so convienient if it's in the sole of your shoe or in a pouch on your laces. I found it wasnt very consistant on distance. I walk to same distance at approx the same pace and would get different readings on any given day. Since I know the distance anyway and walk to same route, it's easier to judge my progress by time than with this unit. I wont be buying another. Maybe I got a bum one.. who knows. Since the unit is always on, if it's been on a store shelf on manufactured months before you purchase it, your battery life may vary. Also, you wouldn want to keep it in shoes you use everyday since it activates when motion is detected from what I understand. Nice concept but didnt last as long as I thought it should for ~$30.

I never receive this item, I mailed them but I did not get any answer. The worst part is that my credit card was charged.
